Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The invasion was delayed by a storm, and the soldiers were not aware of the decision to postpone the operation. The seasickness tablets they were given did little to help, and they were not aware of General Dwight Eisenhower's decision to postpone the operation.

#2 The largest combined-arms invasion force had ever seen set off on June 6, 1944. The naval task force pulverized the shoreline defences with ten tons of high explosives a minute.

#3 The Atlantic Wall was the Nazi's defense system for the Atlantic coast of Europe. It was built with the assumption that the Allies would land in the Pas de Calais area, but Rommel also thought that a landing further south in the Bay of the Somme or along the Cotentin Peninsula was possible.

#4 Rommel's command style and constant inspections of the Atlantic Wall had led to significant strengthening of the defenses all along the coast. But he knew there were still gaps and he needed more panzers and Hitler was the only man who could give them to him.
